These days there are plenty of platforms that enable artists to self-manage their music. While this might work for some people, it’s just not how the music industry works. One of the reasons that make top-line artists from big labels successful is they have teams working behind the scenes so they won’t be distracted from doing what they do. However, it takes so much to build a great team.
With years of experience, we have built our team to support unsigned indie artists in a way like never before, so you can stop spending endless hours on things that distract you from doing what you love.
It’s time to step up your game, and we’re with you at every step.
We talk to every artist to understand their goals and needs, before we work out unique solutions tailor-made for you. Initial consultation is a free service we offer to evaluate where an artist is in their career, where they are heading and what plans they might want.
We understand just how much differences mixing and mastering could make to your songs, but it’s not always the easiest. Over the years we’ve worked with dozens of sound engineers from studios located in Japan, China, the U.K., Australia and the U.S.A., our connections and knowledge allow us to pick the right people who will give the best possible sound to your music, and our producers will be involved in the whole process.
An album cover is worth a thousand words. Our in-house graphic designers will not only help design a professional cover, but make your music stand out from the others at a glance.
Whether it’s original or cover songs, your music deserves a much bigger audience. That’s why we are delivering your songs to the biggest music platforms on the planet, as well as some niche but exciting ones that you shouldn’t miss. We don’t charge annual fees, just take a small cut from your revenue, which means we don’t make money unless you make money. Distribution could bring more revenue than simply uploading it to streaming sites, it also ensures that your music is protected under copyright law. Plus, we’ll keep everything tracked so you don’t have to worry.
YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Soundcloud…You can have all the social media accounts, but nothing makes statement like a properly set up artist profile page dedicated to you. As a community hub, Chinatown Music hosts and manages artist pages, keeps them updated and connects artists and funs. Being part of it means you don’t have to fight alone and there’s a better chance to be discovered.
By collaborating with us, you can take advantage of our own marketing tools, making it easier to reach out to funs. We’ll discuss with you to come up with creative marketing strategies, provide support and even allocate funds to help promote your music.
With the innovation of technology in mind, we are always exploring new ways to make music more accessible and appreciated. Being (possibly) the first brand to distribute C-Pop music using blockchain technologies, our team takes your music further by bringing works to the wide world of blockchain. For example, by releasing your works as NFTs (non-fungible tokens), we turn your music into digital assets that last (almost literally) forever.

Traditional labels ask for creative control in return to use their resources (budget, teams, etc.) to support artists and help promote their music. In contrast, although unsigned indie artists can rely on the softwares, services and platforms that emerged in the last decade to do it all alone and enjoy creative freedom, most of them have to spend huge amount of time to do what’s supposed to be a team’s job. However, there can be other options.
At Chinatown Music we don’t see artists as employees or assets, but our important partners. After listening to artists what they need, we offer services we can provide but show our respect by letting them decide what we can do. Artists can have the support while still have complete creative freedom. With our artist-oriented services, we are building a new community hub as well as a new kind of relationship with artists.
